Chapter 627: Selling Tickets

Nie Tian’s tough stance deeply surprised Zong Zheng from the Ice Pavilion Sect.

Qian Buhui, Gu Yuan, and Cao Mou also had awkward expressions on their faces, not knowing what to say.

As far as they saw it, it wasn’t that hard to accept if Xia Yi was only borrowing the Flame Dragon Armor so that he could defeat Basto. They didn’t understand why Nie Tian was being so stubborn.

However, they also knew that if Nie Tian hadn’t come to the Realm of a Hundred Battles with Zhao Shanling, they wouldn’t have been able to turn the situation around by themselves. Therefore, they were all in Nie Tian’s debt.

The other two Soul realm experts from the Spirit Condor remained silent the whole time, as if Hua Mu could speak for them.

Dong Wangling didn’t utter a word either.

Only Zhao Shanling expressed his approval of Nie Tian’s decision.

Hua Mu pondered in silence for some time before breaking the ice by laughing and saying, “Good, if that’s your decision, then we’ll respect it. I doubt that Xia Yi and the Heaven Palace Sect will try anything on you before the war against the outsiders ends. Even if they want to seek trouble with you, they’ll probably do it after the trouble with the outsiders is over.”

“The reason Xia Yi dares to threaten me is that he assumes that he’s the only one who’ll be able to contend against Basto.” Nie Tian gave a cold harrumph as he laid his eyes on the corpses of the several seventh grade outsiders. With a soft voice, he said, “Seniors, I have a favor to ask.”

“Just name it,” Dong Wangling said.

“I wonder if you can give the corpses of these seventh grade outsiders to me,” Nie Tian said.

Reluctance appeared on Zong Zheng and Qian Buhui’s faces.

Like seventh grade spirit beasts, these seventh grade outsiders’ corpses could be put to great use.

Considering these experts’ cultivation bases and strength, they would be able to extract many precious materials from these corpses, which they could use to either forge spiritual tools or refine medicinal pills. Either way, their strength would benefit greatly from them.

Compared to seventh grade spirit beasts, seventh grade outsiders were much more difficult to find, so they all seemed somewhat reluctant to give them up.

Hua Mu was the first to state his stance. “We’ll give you whichever outsider corpses the Spirit Condor should get.”

Dong Wangling chimed in, “Whichever the Dong Clan should get is yours to take too!”

“I’ll only need their corpses. You can still have their storage rings.” Nie Tian explained. “Their corpses will be put to a very important use. For this, I’m willing to promise you one thing.”

“What is it?” Zong Zheng asked curiously.

“One day, I’ll help you walk out of the Domain of the Falling Stars to a wider heaven and earth,” Nie Tian said.

Upon hearing these words, every Soul realm expert’s eyes widened.

“What makes you think that you’ll be able to help us walk out of the Domain of the Falling Stars?” Cao Mou asked hastily.

Zong Zheng, Qian Buhui, and the others also breathed heavily as strong desire brimmed their eyes, as if they had cultivated their whole lives for this very purpose.

“He does have such an ability,” Zhao Shanling said with an expressionless face.

Hua Mu took a deep look at Nie Tian and asked, “Has your master resolved that star map?!”

Nie Tian nodded.

Zhao Shanling and Hua Mu’s words made the other Soul realm experts’ eyes light up. All of the Dong Clan members that were gathered in this place exchanged awed glances with one another.

Before Zong Zheng could ask about the details, Hua Mu said, “Now is not the time to discuss the details. You only need to know that Nie Tian will be able to get you out of the Domain of the Falling Stars in the foreseeable future. The Spirit Condor can guarantee that Nie Tian’s promise is well-based.”

“Alright!” Zong Zheng exclaimed. “I’m willing to give up the seventh grade outsider corpse that belongs to me. Consider it my ticket to the ship that’ll take me out of the Domain of the Falling Stars.”

“Same with me!” Qian Buhui also said excitedly.

The other Soul realm experts then took turns to express that they were also willing to give Nie Tian the outsider corpses that should have belonged to them.

With a solemn expression, Hua Mu said, “I’ll go talk to the Heaven Palace Sect, Nie Tian. You can be assured that Xia Yi won’t dare to try to seek trouble with the Realm of Flame Heaven anytime soon.”

“Many thanks!” Nie Tian said.

Hua Mu smiled heartily. “You don’t need to thank me. If you hadn’t found me that Fruit of Life, perhaps I wouldn’t be standing here now.”

Zong Zheng gasped with astonishment, then gazed at Nie Tian with a completely different look in his eyes.

Hua Mu had kept this matter a secret. Until now, the other two Soul realm experts from the Spirit Condor were the only ones who knew about it. Even Zong Zheng, who was their ally in the Realm of Endless Ice, knew nothing of it.

Since the Spirit Condor and the Ice Pavilion Sect were both based in the Realm of Endless Ice, Zong Zheng had known Hua Mu from long ago.

He knew that Hua Mu was running out of lifespan. For many years, he had roamed different realms and used the Spirit Condor’s resources to look for magical items that could slow his aging.

However, when he had heard that Hua Mu had shattered the Spirit God Sect’s grand spell formation and slaughtered their disciples for what they had done to Zhen Huilan, he had realized that Hua Mu’s lifespan problem must have been solved.

However, he hadn’t known how Hua Mu had solved it.

Only now did he realize that the reason why Hua Mu was still alive was because Nie Tian had found him a Fruit of Life. He finally understood why Hua Mu and the Spirit Condor had supported Nie Tian at every chance.

Nie Tian looked at Dong Wangling and asked, “Senior Dong, would you please find me a secluded location where I can go into secluded cultivation for a few days?”

“Of course, come with me.” With these words, Dong Wangling strode away.

He made a grabbing motion in the air, and a few resilient belts of pure spiritual power shot out and wrapped themselves around the floating seventh grade outsider corpses. Then, he pulled them away like floating balloons.

FIZZ! FIZZ! FIZZ!
